About Me

Steven
I have worked as a professional Software Engineer for over 25 years, working for Fortune 500 companies, startups, and, for the last 18 years, as an independent contract developer. I am also an award-winning novelist. My second novel, Double Fire, won the Pacific Northwest Writers Association's 2007 Literary Contest (Mystery/Thriller category). Two other novels have been finalists in the same contest: "Snowbound" in 2009 and "The Ignominious Idol" in 2017.
